Sorry about the title, but Stacey wanted to know if
We Can Make Thursday ‘Everybody Blog About Mass Formation Psychosis
Day’? (followed up with ‘Mass Formation Psychosis’ and the Censorship of COVID-19 Criticism). I'm not really all that keen
on the term
myself, which seems to describe media and goverment lead, global gaslighting
of whole populations of susceptible people. As such, it can relate to almost
any topic. I don't much worry about the WuFlu anymore. Omicron is the cure; if
you're not highly vulnerable, catch it.
Say, Justice Breyer resigns. The media and Democrats will gaslight us on how
significant and necessary it is for Biden to get his pick; any opposition will
be considered racist, and sexist (since we all expect the nominee for the
position to be black and at least nominally female. Via the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 01.26.22 (Afternoon Edition), at the Volokh Conspiracy, NBC News Reports Justice Breyer Will Retire WaPoo, Breyer to retire, giving Biden first Supreme Court pick of his
presidency and Breyer replacement to be named relatively quickly. The Peacock, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer to retire, giving Biden a chance to
nominate a replacement. Althouse fairly glows after seeing in in the NYT,
Breyer will retire! She's not all that kind to the NYT, though. At Haut Hair, AllahPundit
notes the obvious in Breaking: Stephen Breyer to retire
"Ol’ Justice Breyer knows how to read a poll. The House is gone and the Senate
increasingly looks like a 50/50 status-quo best-case scenario for Democrats in
2023." Sundance at CTH, As Expected, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer Will Step Down, Biden
Will Likely Nominate Ketanji Brown Jackson. Ace,
With Democrat Control of Senate Due to be Lost, Leftwing Ideologue and
Democrat Partisan Steven Breyer Announces Retirement, "Brandon vows to nominate the first black female justice. Is Kamala finally positioned for success? Meanwhile: does Sonia Sotomayor's intemperate rant give away that a
preliminary vote was taken and Roe is going to be overturned or rendered
dead letter?
But did he really intend the news to get out, Fox's Shannon Bream hears
otherwise, Shannon Bream@ShannonBream "Multiple sources tell me Justice Breyer was not planning to announce
his retirement today. They describe him as "upset" with how this has played
out. We still await any official notice from his office and/or the
#SCOTUS
public information office." Paul Bedard at WaEx, By-the-book Breyer said to be miffed retirement leaked. AllahPundit, Uh oh: Breyer "upset" that news leaked, wasn't planning to announce
retirement today, reports claim, "I’m dying to know who’s responsible for this sh*tshow."
I’m thisclose to embracing the conspiracy theory that Breyer didn’t intend
to retire at all and a liberal source tried to force his hand by making up a
lie about an imminent announcement and feeding it to the press. If he’s not
going to retire voluntary, progressives will have to take matters into their
own hands by ginning up a media frenzy that all but requires him to do
so!
Jesse Kelly@JesseKellyDC, "Whoever Biden wants to replace him raped me in high school. I don’t remember where. Don’t ask me to come back to DC. I’m afraid to fly." Matt Margolis at PJ Media,
Biden's Supreme Court Pick Sexually Assaulted Me 25 Years Ago. Seriously now folks, what should the Republican stance be going forward. Assuming Manchin stays in line (and I suspect Collins and Murkowski will also vote for a marginally acceptable black woman), the Republicans can't stop this. I don't think stalling will work. Just do a good job vetting her, and vote your conscience would be my solution. It would be an opportunity for Republicans to make a move to cool off the Supreme Court confirmation wars, if she got a reasonable number of Republican votes. It probably wouldn't be reciprocated the next time the foo is on the other shoet, though.
Will the Breyer confirmation process give Biden enough boost to stop the bleeding? AllahPundit has
No confidence: Biden's numbers turn negative on every major issue in new Pew poll (Pew Pool,
Biden Starts Year Two With Diminished Public Support and a Daunting List of Challenges) and
Red wave or red wedding? GOP surges to highest numbers yet in generic ballot polling "“Well, at least it can’t get any worse than this,” Joe Biden is thinking as he scans this Monmouth poll. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, Vladimir Putin picks up the phone and gives the “go” order to his generals outside Ukraine…" Capt Ed at Haut Hair catches Republicans catching the blame,
WaPo, Zogby: Dems starting to abandon Biden -- but is Biden's lying or GOP "intransigence" to blame? Even Chris Cilliza at CNN sees 8
terrible numbers for Joe Biden in the new Pew poll. Josh Kraushar at National Journal,

Morning Consult: Biden down nine points against a generic Republican, but ... never doubt the ability of Republicans to f*ck things up.
"In his first tests as a candidate, the celebrity physician fails to impress Pennsylvania GOP activists." I'm unsure on Dr. Oz.
